LESSONS and tagged English Language Arts fun stuff Graphic Organizers interactive notebooks No Prep Spelling on May 6, 2022 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on May 6, 2022)

Description

The Spelling Flip Book is designed to help young learners become familiar with spelling rules and to incorporate them into their work.

Students can color and personalize their flip books to enhance the spelling learning experience.

I always like encouraging my students to use their flip books as reference sheets when they are working to promote good spelling habits. The goal is that eventually, by using the flipbook when working, the student will begin to remember common errors made in the past and correct them. I have had much success with this strategy in my classes.

I’ve also included a color copy and an answer key – a total of 18 pages.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Scientific Method: Identifying Independent & Dependent Variables”

by The Science Vault
6th – 8th Grade

This powerpoint introduces the concept of identifying independent and dependent variables and then offers practice in identifying manipulated and measured variables in several scenarios. PPT and Google Slides version included for flexibility. The scenarios are real-life type problem statements such as “A lack of sleep will increase weight gain” and “Consuming fish oil will improve memory”

It’s a great introduction to the difference between manipulated and measured variables.

Also included in this Freebie is a Google Tips Guide for using Google Slides in an online, blended environment. Handy for both distance learning and blended, in-person learning!

All of my powerpoints take advantage of the animations feature to avoid the “head-down-madly-copying” syndrome that powerpoints can sometimes cause. With animations, you can control the flow of information better – and that keeps class discussions more lively and student engagement high.

Kindergarten – 8th Grade

Make your own Color By Number celebrations of spring with this set of editable pictures. Every image is pre-numbered with EDITABLE text boxes so that you can customize the activity for YOUR subject, grade level, or differentiated tasks.

You will receive:

4 black line images with editable text boxes
4 black line images without text boxes (useful for resizing).
4 color images with text boxes (for you to make a key)
4 color images without text boxes (for resizing).

If you need a few more sections for the task you have in mind, feel free to add sections using the shapes or drawing tools in PowerPoint. In short, you can customize these pictures to EXACTLY suit your individual needs no matter what grade or subject you teach.

The images are:
Robin
Sprout

Why is this a PowerPoint file? In PowerPoint, it’s easy to move pictures, add text boxes and draw lines wherever you need them. You can copy just one slide and insert it into a new PowerPoint file without any formatting issues. Adjust the size of the picture, and make the text in one box different than the text in another. By using PowerPoint for this product, I’ve made your work as easy and flexible as possible.

Parts of Speech Grammar Circles (Superhero Themed)

LESSONS and tagged activities Assessment English Language Arts grammar Handouts No Prep Spelling on April 14, 2022 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on April 14, 2022)

Superhero themed Parts of speech Grammar Circle Unit

One of the biggest challenges I had in my English classes was how to fit grammar in with everything else I had to teach. I would give students grammar pages, and then we would correct them together. It was tedious, and it took forever! What’s more is that students were not learning the way I wanted them to. They wouldn’t apply what they had learned from the grammar pages and activities.

I found a solution!

Grammar Circles. Grammar Circles are very similar to literature circles in the sense that students are teaching one another grammar. It is a fun and functional way to teach and Learn grammar. Although this may be done individually, it can also be completed as a group where students, through a specific process outlined in the package, teach one another grammar. They also correct the work together, so the teacher has very little to do other than to facilitate and supervise.

Once these circles have been implemented and students know who their group members are and what they are supposed to do, it is a great prep to leave a supply teacher.

The package includes:

1) A Student Packet – which contains the Literature Circle directions, the notes, and activities, and a “Mark Calculation” page to keep track of their marks. (27 pages)

Activities included focus on:

❒nouns

❒adjectives

❒verbs

❒adverbs

❒prepositions

❒conjunctions

❒putting it all together

❒correct use of pronouns

❒who and whom

❒that and which

❒who’s and whose

❒that and who

❒pronoun case

❒pronoun agreement

❒active and passive voice

❒verb tenses (present, past, future)

❒verb uses (consistency in verb tenses)

2) A teacher Guide with easy to follow instructions on how to organize the Grammar Circles.

3) The Answer Key – devised to allow students to correct their work and learn from one another.

Also included are free Superhero Themed Parts of Speech Posters to decorate your class.

For those who are from Ontario, Canada – this unit adheres to the Grade 9 English Curriculum (academic). The unit can be taught in any grade to learn parts of speech.
